Quick Summary

Nikola Dzepina scored a career-high 27 points, including 10 of 17 field goals and 6 of 7 free throws, while LeJuan Watts contributed 22 points via 14 successful free throw attempts out of 16 tries as the University of Washington men’s basketball team won their season opener against Colgate with a score of 90-76. Andrew Alekseyenko led Colgate with 25 points and 11 rebounds, but it was not enough to overcome the Huskies' strong free throw shooting performance and second-half surge that stretched the lead past ten points for most of the latter half.
